Adobe’s asset management application hasn’t had too many new features added to it, but those that are there aim to make finding images and video clips within large collections a faster process -- and it largely succeeds.

We found the base performance of the application to be only marginally faster than Bridge CS2, except on the Intel version of Mac OS X -- where performance was, as you’d expect, much improved. However, this is only a beta version and we expect a marked improvement by the shipping version.
